We are all part of this symphony of life. Yes, it sounds a bit cheesy, but there is just no way around the fact that there is so much going on and you are right in the middle of it. A tiny little part doing its thing next to a lot of other tiny parts doing their things. And more often than never these parts are doing things together. The greatest gift of all is two things meeting each other.

“In Rhythm of Living” is a ritual to celebrate that we are these tiny parts, and celebrate all the other tiny parts in our life that make us feel part of it all. It is a ritual about being in life and feeling in connection with the people and world around us.

— WHAT IS HAPPENING? —

After an opening circle and a grounding exercise, we will perform three different “songs” together. These songs are not typical songs (like we hear them on our phones), but rather musical and lyrical expressions of ourselves.

Each song needs an audience. So the first song, the Song of Silence, is about listening and tuning into the world around us. We remain observers and witnesses to the sounds that surround us.

For the Song of Praise, our second song, we pick up some percussion instruments and create a simple rhythm together. Throughout this song everyone is invited to speak and praise and celebrate the things in their life that bring them joy and meaning.

In the final song, the Song of Life, we continue using instruments for rhythms and we also now use our body and voice to dance and sing. In this song we fully immerse into simply being and enjoying being in connection with the people around us.

After the last song is sung, we rest in silence for a little moment. Finally, we come together for a closing round.

— WHAT TO BRING —

• a percussion instrument of your choice; please let me know if you don’t have an instrument to bring, I can provide you with one
• token of significance to you that will decorate our common altar; you will take this token with you home again
• a pen and a journal or another means of writing things down (a phone is fine but please no digital devices bigger than a phone)

— ABOUT RHYTHMS OF A YEAR —

“In Rhythm of Living” is part of RHYTHMS OF A YEAR. It is a series of rituals designed to provide spaces for intentions and clarity as you navigate the ever-changing landscape of your life. Each ritual corresponds to a different time of the year, offering a unique container for reflection on various aspects of your life. Inspired by the energies associated with each season, these rituals allow you to paint a fuller picture of your life and empower you to tune your inner rhythms to the world around you.

While the rituals form a cohesive series, you’re invited to join at any point during the year, participating in as many rituals as resonate with your current needs. Whether you seek mental preparation for the year, express gratitude, process grief, or find space for other emotions, Rhythms of a Year welcomes you wherever you are in your life.

— WHY JOIN A RITUAL? —

For many the word ‘ritual’ sounds old, somewhat religious or cultish even, something that doesn’t fit into our modern technology-driven world. For us at Liminal Rituals, however, a ritual is first and foremost a cultural technique to gain clarity, create community, and make space for the things in your life that really matter to you. With our rituals we want you to feel that your life, your experience of being on this spinning blue planet matters, and support you in finding your way. Our rituals are free of any religious or ideological binding, and we invite you to show up as the person that you are. You are welcome — no matter your cultural background, gender, ability, and age.

— ABOUT LIMINAL RITUALS —

Liminal Rituals was born out of gratitude and a desire to share the power of rituals with others. Rituals have the power to infuse meaning, connection, and a sense of purpose into our fast-paced, modern lives. We understand that not everyone resonates with traditional religious or spiritual practices, which is why we offer a time-relevant approach to rituals that is grounded in human experience, personal growth, and the celebration of life’s milestones.

Liminal Rituals seeks to create rituals with a deep understanding for the cultural and political period we live in. Modern day rituals are participatory, secular, and non-hierarchical — inviting all participants to be the author of their own life and story. None of our rituals demand to believe in an ideology or spiritual belief, as we believe that rituals should be accessible, inclusive, and customizable to each individual’s unique needs.

— ABOUT THE FACILITATOR —

Thibault founded Liminal Rituals in late 2020 and began creating rituals for friends and family in early 2021. Throughout this year, they experimented with how to combine their background in cultural studies, game design, performing art, and authentic relating into modern day rituals. While it was important for them to learn and get inspired by traditional rituals, they felt that rituals in the 21st century demanded a different approach.

— “I FEEL CURIOUS BUT ALSO NERVOUS” —

In writing our event description, we try to be as specific as possible so you can get a clear picture of what the experience will be like for you. Everyone has different desires and needs, and if possible we will aim to accommodate as many needs as possible. Please let us know if you are unsure what you need to participate comfortably and safely, or if there is something that you would like our facilitators to know in advance. We know that this is a vulnerable act to do and we will receive it with care and confidentiality. Please write to info@liminalrituals.dk
